Anne Marie on The One Show

February 17, 2017 — Leave a comment
Just finished listening to Anne Marie on The One Show, on BBC1, and my god what a woman, what an artist. Her new single Ciaos Adios sounds just brilliant and the chorus Ciao Adios I’m Done just goes round your head and is a great hip-hop dance record and to top it off she’s up for a Brit Award Nomination this year. She has collaborated with Clean Bandit on the single Rockabye last year. I admit I haven’t paid much attention to her music over the past year or so but probably will be now.

 

Rag’n’Bone Man on The Graham Norton Show

Listening to Rag’n’Bone man perform his sensational debut hit track Human on The Graham Norton Show on BBC1 right now, and I swear this song just gets better the more I listen to it. In a way he’s like a male version on Adele, he may be big in size but when he opens his mouth it’s a different story. This guy’s got a powerful, gospel voice which you simply can’t ignore. The song’s off the album of the exact same name.

Been hearing a lot from this guy recently, especially his song Human which is absolutely awesome listening pleasure. Radio 1’s been playing it a lot lately, and I won’t be tiring of of it any time soon. He’s only 32 he’s got an amazing, powerful, gospel voice that has a very rich sound to it. Human is a great song, I love it and the lyric “I’m only human after all” just goes round your head and is fantastic. Not bad for a guy who won the Brits Critics Choice Award

Elbow on The Graham Norton Show

Currently watching Elbow play their new song Magnificent (She Says) on The Graham Norton Show on BBC1 at the moment, I’m actually enjoying it. It’s got a smooth start and Guy Harvey’s voice is great as always and always seem to hit the right notes, talented as always. Sounds a little bit like Sting. Guy’s got a good vocal range. The violins in the background add some edge to the sound. The song’s on their new album Little Fictions. after listening to this I’m tempted to get a copy.

Just been watching Izzy Bizu perform her latest single Talking To You on The Graham Norton Show on BBC1 which was actually quite good. Izzy has got smooth soft vocals which can reach the high note and was just amazing listening pleasure and her voice just glides through the music. Her single Talking To You has got a nice soft, gospel feel to it, the song’s great, and so’s she. Izzy Bizu came to attention via the BBC Introducing

High Contrast On The Radio

January 26, 2017 — Leave a comment
Heard the new single from British producer High Contrast on Radio 1 last night, it’s featured in the new soundtrack to T2 Trainspotting2. It’s called Mouthwash, and I was completely hooked after 20 seconds, that’s how much I loved it. As far as soundtracks go it’s highly energised and is in the same vein as Underworld’s Born Slippy. If you ever get the chance to just listen to it, you won’t be disappointed. It’s even been noted as Hottest Record in The World on Radio 1
